Understanding Absolute Value Concepts

The video tutorial explains that the absolute value of a number is its distance from zero on a number line, which is always positive. It uses the example of 3.3 to illustrate that absolute values cannot be negative, as distance cannot be negative. The tutorial concludes by reinforcing that absolute value is a measure of distance and is always positive.

What is the absolute value of 3.3?

Why can't absolute value be negative?

• Because it is a measure of speed

• Because it is a measure of distance

• Because it is a measure of time

• Because it is a measure of weight

What does absolute value represent on a number line?

• The direction from zero

• The weight from zero

• The speed from zero

Is it possible to have a negative absolute value?

• Only for negative numbers

• No, never

• Only for positive numbers

• Yes, always

What is the correct statement about the absolute value of -3.3?
